Total bacterial number observed in all treatment groups at both time points.

<p>Quantitative PCR reveals that the changes occurring are qualitative not quantitative as no significant difference is observed between time points. Total bacterial numbers calculated as copies of 16 S rRNA/g wet stool. Statistical significant difference between treatment groups is denoted by ***. p value based on kruskal wallis analysis with statistical significant determined as p≤0.05. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
